Farewell Martyr AlBotty Poem by nadia abduljabbar

A pure soul was he; A true religious scholar, And his tears wereGenuine not that of A crocodile or alligator.And he died Martyr As he wished.

An excellent lecturerAnd teacher was he, Who taught us, In depth, a lot, However toughWas, his recentPolitical vision, He is a human being After all and mightCommit mistakes.But this does not eraseAll his good past.

Or even if he had Different viewOn life and politics.Even if one does not Agree with any Of his political or socialJudgment or opinion.

This does not give anyOne who disagrees, Even if he wasA famous sheikh, The right to digA place for Al BotyIn Hot or glazingFire or Hell.

This is not our business, This is in God’s Hands for He Is the only One whoKnows about Real Intensions; An who is a hypocrit.
